As much as I have ragged on VOOM in the past for their origional content every day I am falling more and more in love with VOOM.
While selection of the movies on the 10 Cineplex channels is not my cup of tea, and while I just don't get the Art channel, I am falling in love with a channel which I didn't even think I would watch, and that channel is RAVE!
When I first got my VOOM everytime I turned on Rave, it was the same Rolling Stones video "Has Anybody seen my baby" but now every time I turn on Rave is something good on!
I am especially in love with the Concerts aired on VOOM, over the past few weeks I have watched concerts on VOOM from artists I would probably not watch, and have become fans of many of the artists showcasted on VOOM, Artists such as Bobbt McFaren, Lyle Lovett.
This past week I had tears in my eyes, watching Peter Cetera belt out "The Next Time I fall in Love" with Amy Grant (Who looked GREAT!) the sound was out of this world, it was another world class performace that Vooms Sound Stage has brought me.
I also caught Farm Aid in HD, and what a great show! Cheryl Crow, Dave Matthews (without his band), Neil Young... All top notch! As wierd as it may sound I actually found myself liking Willie Nelson, I really enjoyed his performace, and how wild was it seeing his guitar "Trigger" in HD, I don't understand how a guitar that looks so bad can sound so good! My Only Disapointment with the Farm Aid show was the performace by one of the performers I always wanted to see live, and that was John Mellencamp, John looked like he steped out of some auditions for Sha Na Na with his greesed back pompadore. Instead of playing his great classics (Brick Houses, Small Town, Check it out, Jack and Diane, etc.) he instead played some really bad blues numbers, when he finally did play a song people in the in the audience knew (Aint that America) it was still done blues style, the steel guitar played the same riff that it did in the other 4 songs. I was Disapointed. I have always wanted to see him live.
I now watch 2 or 3 concerts a week on RAVE and I have loved them all! To me this alone is worth the price of VOOM, I just hope VOOM keeps bringing us new concerts on a Regular Basis.
Yes at tiimes I still see the Rolling Stones video but now I am happy that most of the time when I turn on Rave its something that keeps me tuned in!
Thanks VOOM!

Last night HDNET had a rock n roll reunion that was pretty good with Tommy James and some others. It freaked me out to see these guys looking so old (I grew up with their music 
).
